Horses displaced by fire

About 20 stray horses remain unclaimed at Del Mar Fairgrounds,
where about 200 horses were taken Sunday and Monday during
evacuations.

Following media reports about the horses at the fairground and
Del Mar Horsepark, most of the animals have been identified by
their owners.

All of the unclaimed strays at the fairgrounds have been tagged
and documented by

the San Diego County Animal Control Authority.

Owners who may still be looking for their animals are encouraged
to come to the fairgrounds to identify their animals or visit the
Fairgrounds website at www.sdfair.com. The fairgrounds will create
a page on the website and post images of the unclaimed horses this
afternoon.

For information on horses located at the fairgrounds, call (858)
509-5245.

Animals can only be claimed at the Fairgrounds between 9 a.m.
and 5 p.m. When claiming their animals, owners should bring proof
of ownership,

including photos of them with the animals. SDCACA officials are
only on site at the fairgrounds between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., and no
animals will be released from the fairgrounds without the approval
of a SDCACA official.

The phone number for SDCACA is (619) 236-2341.

Horse/livestock owners should enter the fairgrounds through the
Solana Gate located on Via de la Valle, west of Interstate 5.

Meanwhile, Marine Corps Air Station Miramar has made its stables
available for up to 75 displaced horses.

Owners are asked to bring feed for their horses and to make sure
their names are on their halters.
